Medical Simulation Financing Solutions
Flexible Payment Options for Any Simulation Solution
Laerdal has partnered with Blue Street Capital for over a decade to help remove one of the most common barriers our customers face today: budget constraints.
As we work with you to identify the right simulation solution for your program, we can also help design a payment approach that fits your budget cycle, making it easier to move forward with the simulation technology your educators and clinicians depend on.
Many Laerdal customers choose structured payment plans that help:
- Preserve cash and capital budgets
- Maintain existing credit lines
- Align payments with annual funding or grant cycles
In some cases, these programs may also offer tax or accounting advantages. The Blue Street Capital team is available to help you understand what applies to your organization.
Payment Programs for Medical Simulation Equipment
One of the key advantages of structured payment programs is flexibility over time.
Simulation technology continues to evolve, and many organizations prefer payment plans that allow them to:
- Refresh or upgrade equipment as needs change
- Avoid large upfront purchases
- Match payments to the useful life of the technology
The most common structures span 4–5 years, with options at the end of the term to continue, upgrade, or own the equipment outright, providing both flexibility and long-term value.
Comprehensive Project Coverage
Payment plans can be structured to include all components of your simulation project, such as:
- Manikins and equipment
- Software and licensing
- Educational content and training
- Installation, maintenance, and support
Many programs are aligned under a single schedule, meaning software, service coverage, and subscriptions stay in sync with your payments, reducing administrative complexity.
With more than 20 years of experience supporting healthcare and education organizations, Blue Street Capital specializes in creating easy-to-manage payment solutions for even the most complex simulation initiatives.

What are the benefits of equipment financing?
Most Laerdal clients chose a finance option due to budget constraints, moving the purchase from their capital budget to an opperating budget. There are also times where the purchase would be distruptive to cash flow and monthly payments minimizes that impact. There are also tax and liability reasons why Laerdal clients choose finance options.
What are the tax benefits of financing equipment?
Talk to your CPA about your section 179 thresholds for the year. Section 179 is a tax incentive where you recieve fist year excellerated depretiation on the entire equipoment value in contrast to 3-5 year depreciation. You can often recieve this tax incentive when financing as well as paying cash for equiopment purchases.
